How to Put Your Faith into Action

We are currently studying a book by Rev. Matthew Harrison, President of the LCMS, that reflects his time spent in the mission field while serving Lutheran World Relief and Human Care. Harrison writes:

"This is an unprecedented time of opportunity for the Church, and mercy is the key to seizing the moment. This book is written with the conviction that mercy - the mercy of Christ to and for us - and our demonstration of that mercy to those within and outside the Body of Christ is the key to the future of the Church. Mercy is the key to mission and stewardship. It is the key to living our Christian lives together in love and forgiveness. We desperately need to learn more deeply of the mercy of Christ so we may learn how to care for one another in the Church. Mercy is the key to moving boldly and confidently into the future with courage in the Gospel - a confidence and courage based on conviction."

Through Scripture study, real-life experiences, and the writings of the Lutheran Church Fathers, Harrison urges Christians to consider the innumerable opportunities we have to show mercy - to fellow Christians and to anyone God places in our path.
